Had he got the benefit of enlightened, prior open discussions with the scientists, engineers and others involved in this area in India, on the pros and cons of such an agreement, may be, we could have avoided the present implied 'threat' by the US: "either agree to <B><I>our</I></B> conditions on the deal or face the consequences of a jilted relationship"<br /><br />To day, propaganda in electronic media is about how the government hopes the final document to be signed with the US would be "as close as possible" to the July 2005 agreement and March 2006 statement of our PM. Already, ground is being prepared for the breach of the boundaries demarcated by PM's 'red' lines.Mayurdas Bholanathnoreply@blogger.com
